short Talks With My Boys.

BOYS, do not try to learn to use tobacco
Stop minute and let us consider the mat
ter. Why should you wish 10 learn? Oh,
because Harry uses it, that is your reason.
Well, does it do Harry any good? You
"don't know as it does. Very we'll then,
let's consider the reasons against its USE
In the first place, it is injurious to the
health: it is also expensive, and moreover,
filthy. Now how do the ayes and noes
balance? Don't for moment imagine it is
a ''smart" thing to do. Any fool can learn
to use il, but IL sometimes takes smart boy
to have manliness to refuse TO do as his silly
mates are doing. BY this L do not mean to
be understood az saying only fools use
tobacco, but do say there is nothing smart
or manly in learning to use it, Nothing
smart, but that other thing that people
designate with sneer as ''smarty".
have nothing severe to say to those who
have become confirmed in the habit of using
the weed, for habit is as remorseless as pair
of handouts, but have no patience with the
beginner who will nauseate himself, and suffer
the torture of accustoming himself to the
nuisance when he would be thousand times
better without il. We hear every day of
cases of heart disease aggravated by the use
of tobacco of that horror, smokers cancer,
and now comes a report from London of
blindness from the same cause. Here ia
what London paper says on the subject:
Tobacco blindness is becoming COM
mon afiliction. AZ present there are several
persons under treatment for il at one
London hospital. II first takes the form of
color blindness, the sufferers who have
smoked themselves into this condition being
quite unable to distinguish the color of a
piece of red cloth held up before them.
Sometimes the victim loses his sight alto
gether Although smoking is to a large
extent the cause of the malady. heavy drink
ing is also partly responsible. House
